Bandai Namco Announces Ultra Kaiju Monster Rancher
/
Bandai Namco announced that players will get to raise their very own kaiju in Ultra Kaiju Monster Rancher for the Nintendo Switch. It’s set for a late 2022 release.
Simply put, it will play similarly to the 1997 classic series Monster Rancher where you raise monsters and strengthen them by assigning certain tasks to get them battle ready to fight against other Kaijus in tournaments.
In combat, Ultra Kaiju Monster Rancher also plays similar to Monster Rancher, where two Kaijus battle it out in real time and the abilities you can execute during a match depend on the distance between your kaiju and the opponent.
Ultra Kaiju Monster Rancher will feature over 200 Ultra Kaiju, as it has a mix of familiar and new Kaiju. You can also mix two of our kaijus together to create something unique.
Since this is simply a kaiju-infused Monster Rancher game, the ability of discovering a new kaiju will work differently. Since CDs are a thing of the past now, players can generate a kaiju using a song search function embedded in the game. You can also use any NFC chips you have in your possession, like a Nintendo Amiibo or a card with an NFC inside.
